Sony Xperia Z2 gets a wireless charging cover and plate

To keep your Xperia Z2 smartphone looking stylish even while charging, Sony is making available two new wireless charging accessories designed for it. The Wireless Charging Cover WCR12 and Charging Plate WCH10 will let you refuel the smartphone's battery without being entangled by wires. And they look nice, too!

The WCR12 is a stylish flip style cover designed specifically for the Sony Xperia Z2. While it's selling point is its wireless charging capabilities, the cover also functions as a protective accessory to keep objects away from your screen while the device stays in your bag or in your pocket. In addition, the cover allows the Xperia Z2 to be propped up in a landscape orientation for the best viewing experience.

With the WCH10 charging plate, Sony has moved away from the usual drab, rectangular or square form of most wireless charging plates. Instead, it employs a circular disk design that makes the plate look both stylish and interesting on any table. The plate gives out a charge of 5 watts to charge the Xperia Z2 or other compatible devices.

Though these accessories are sold separately, you will probably need both in order to have a wireless charging system. However, both the cover and the charging plate adhere to the Qi wireless charging standard and are therefore compatible with other similar accessories in the market. The Wireless Charging Cover WCR12 will come in black and white color options while the Wireless Charging Plate WCH10 only comes in black. Sony has not yet disclosed when and where these accessories will come to market or for what price.
